There's a new book by a new author-- Veil of Night, by Lydia Joyce
I just started it and it's definitely good, but it's not quite as gothicy as I'd like. YgothicMV
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Connie, you're mooshing up two sisters, which is easy to do.
Grr, and I spent time going "Joan or Jane, Joan or Jane, you know this, you own most of her books." Bah.
Have you read what I think is her most recent (blanking on the title), where she went back to a book she put aside in the 50s and finished it in the late 90s? It completely twists all the expectations you'd have of a gothic, because she left the first half alone and finished it very much in the mode of a modern romance. People even swear! Of course, people swore in "Strangers in Company," too. I first read it in high school, and my mind completely skipped over the villain snarling "Fuck your feet" to his complaining cohort. I stared at the page for a good minute when I re-read it a year or so ago, wondering how I'd missed it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Jilli, it occurs to me that my mother has a HUGE stash of the things. Don't know why I didn't remember that at dinner.

Oooh! Could you raid them for me?
You didn't remember this at dinner because you were too busy going Ohgodohgod sushi, finally!

That's a good point.
She's got a bunch of the things, if I can track them down (the basement is a mess), and I'm sure she'd let me steal them.

Alas, Megan, I did not have time this e'en to check.
No worries! I appreciate the offer; just whenever you have the time.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
OK, Megan. They have #s 6 thru 10, used. 3 of them (I think 6, 7, and 10) are $3, and the other 2 are $2.50. So, total for all 5 of those is $14 + shipping.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Oops, just found the paperback I was thinking of, and it was volume 2 instead of 8 or 9. I must have been conflating my copy with one a former roommate owned.
Megan E. - May 01, 2005 5:27:05 am PDT #7569 of 10002
Gandalfe, could you get me 7-10? I'll send you a money order to cover the costs.
Awesome!

Thanks for looking Matt. Much appreciated.
